Tempted in a Forbidden Fire with a BillionaireUpdated at Sep 4, 2024, 03:04
Gretchen Alferez is practically nervous as she steps onto the Azurlan Estate property. Her heart aches in a way it has been for three years; punishingly.
Three years have molded her into a cold shell of her old self, but that shell is cracking with every step she takes toward the mansion she once called home. Three years had passed and now she's coming back towards the place as a grown woman, far from being the naive teenage girl before.
Lies, sacrifices, and leaving for love are something she had only ever seen in television and movies. It quickly became her reality when saving the reputation of Jackson Azurlan meant breaking his heart and crumbling her own into pieces.
And now, she was walking into an unexpected nightmare... interview the man she never thought would be her guest in her job one day. She wishes she was given a name before accepting the responsibility because she might throw up before she even lays eyes on him, given the circumstances of the newsworthy story.
On the way to the set, while sweating and panting, her phone vibrates in her dress pocket, and it sure as hell isn’t an email.
It’s a call from an unregistered number. Though it's not saved in her contact list, but she's very familiar with the numbers flashing right on her screen.
It's him.
